North winds are strong tonight. We decided to paddle at night to get to an island, which we did but not until after an insane day.
Woke up in a hammock, I love my life. Then I ate a bunch of my fruit medley, which is peanuts, almonds, cashews, peacons, freeze dried kiwi, strawberry, mango, peaces, apples, and bananas. I love my life.
We then shot outta the gates after a lock and destroyed the river. Fastest and hardest day of pure insane paddling. Think about paddling a boat as fast as you can. Now think about doing that for 7 hours non stop. We got 35 miles in that time. That's 5 mph for 7 hours. Usually we go about 3.2 mph. Erik and I are literally turning into beasts. Not sure how but Erik wakes up 2 hours before me and still has more energy, next level.
Not too much happened on the river except we murdered it and buried it. And oh ya, we decide to night paddle for 4 miles, bad idea. We got tossed around because the wind picked up to 20mph once the sum fell. Also we went past an industry at night where there were barges, very dangerous, this shouldnt but probably will happen again, sorry mom.
Anyway we got a kick ass fire started on a private island beach. Tomorrow is my birthday and I hope to get to Evansville where there is a casino. I love my life. It seems the less I think and try the easier things are and the more the universe guides me in the right direction.
Getting cold out here.
